A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

"Miss, why don't you have them escort us to Yunxiang Tower first, and then ask them to fetch the young master?"

Xin Moyan walked alone on the street with Cailian. She had been looking at the portrait all day for the past two days and was indeed a little visually fatigued. She had seen almost all the sights around her home, so she might as well take a walk on the street!

“By the time it takes to send us there and then let them go back to the manor, lunchtime will have passed, and my brother will definitely be waiting anxiously at home. It’s better to split into two groups, and we can walk and stroll around, which will save them a lot of time getting back to the manor.”

Cailian paused for a second, then reacted and repeatedly praised Xin Moyan, "Miss is truly brilliant!"

"Haha~ Don't praise me like that, I'll get too proud."

"Miss is exceptionally intelligent!"

The two were chatting side by side on the street when they suddenly heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats. The people around them quickly moved aside. Xin Moyan curiously craned her neck forward, wondering if there was some important person there.

The sound grew closer, and she saw a tall, powerful horse slowly approaching from afar. She had no time to pay attention to the person on the horse, but she could see dozens of horse-drawn carts carrying goods behind them, and soldiers with weapons all around the horse and the carts.

"What is this doing?"

After Cailian recognized the man on horseback, she immediately whispered to Xin Moyan, "Miss, this is the Prince Lie's Imperial Guard. Perhaps it's because the Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, and the Prince has been ordered to prepare for the birthday banquet. The items being transported behind are probably for the banquet the day after tomorrow!"

"I see."

Xin Moyan thought that since she had broken off her engagement with this Prince Lie, they must be complete strangers now! There was no need to greet him or let him see her. With that thought, she quickly pulled Cailian and squeezed into the crowd on the street.

But who is Yuan Huailie? Military generals are particularly sensitive to unusual movements, not to mention that he is sitting on a horse at this moment, and his field of vision must be even wider. Moreover, Xin Moyan is still wearing the dress she wore when she went to the palace to break off the engagement. Among this group of ordinary commoners, Xin Moyan's figure stands out. But... why is she walking further in?

Xin Moyan could no longer squeeze in. She was thinking that when she got to Yunxianglou, she would definitely order that chicken soup. She had been very stressed lately and needed to nourish her body.

However, why does she vaguely feel that a very strong gaze is staring at her?

Xin Moyan looked up and met Yuan Huailie's gaze. He simply stopped his horse there and stared at Xin Moyan from a distance without saying a word.

Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Xin Moyan secretly tugged at Cailian's sleeve and whispered, "Cailian, according to the rules of the palace, do I need to bow to these princes?"

She knew that Yuan Huailie must have recognized her, and she didn't know much about palace rules. If she, as a princess, needed to pay her respects to the prince, he might be waiting for her to go up and greet him right now!

Cailian then slowly explained, “Miss, you should have bowed to the princes and princesses, but when the late emperor was in power, you and the young master often enjoyed the company of the Empress Dowager. The late emperor saw that you two were about the same age as the princes and princesses and that he loved you and the young master very much, so he issued a special decree that from now on, except for the emperor, empress and crown prince, you and the young master do not need to bow to the royal family.”

"So that's how it is! So, the King wasn't waiting for me to come forward and pay my respects? Cailian, let's go then!"

She didn't look up at Yuan Huailie, but instead took Cailian's hand and turned to walk into the alleyway next to her. Oh well, she could always find her way out by going around in circles.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Huailie frowned and raised the reins, walking towards them.

"Xin Moyan!"

The two men froze. Xin Moyan slowly retracted her right leg, which she had already raised, then turned around and politely nodded to the man on horseback.

"Greetings, King Lie!"

The humble yet assertive voice piqued Yuan Huailie's interest. He leaped forward, his steps steady and powerful, and gradually walked to the two of them. The common people nearby, seeing the King dismount, quickly retreated, leaving only the master and servant and Yuan Huailie staring at each other.

"Xin Moyan, what are you doing here?"

His sharply defined features were striking, and his handsome face was expressionless. Yuan Huailie's voice remained as cold and sharp as when he had met her before, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Just happened to be passing by."

Hmm? Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

"You really just happened to be passing by?"

"Why do you say that, my lord?"

Yuan Huailie stared intently at her face, his gaze sharp, and said, word by word, "Back then, you also said that you happened to be passing by, and then you pestered me for many years."

"Does Your Highness perhaps think that I deliberately arranged this encounter?"

"Isn't it?"

Xin Moyan found him ridiculous. This street wasn't his property, so why was he fine when he passed by, but she was accused of stalking him when she passed by? She wasn't a sasaeng fan!

After thinking for a moment, she chuckled and said to Yuan Huailie, "Your Highness, it is said that all land under heaven belongs to the king, but does that mean that once Your Highness passes through Dongqian Street, we commoners can't even stand there? Besides, my maid and I were strolling here peacefully, and as soon as Your Highness arrived, you made up a story that I deliberately created a chance encounter with you. If everything is about first come, first served, then can I also say that Your Highness saw how beautiful I am and deliberately led your troops through this street?"

"..."

Yuan Huailie narrowed his eyes slightly, then lifted his leg and walked a few steps closer to her at a leisurely pace.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Xin Moyan subconsciously took a step back, but she was standing by the wall with nowhere left to retreat, so she could only politely ask, "What brings you here, Your Highness?"

His sharp gaze swept over her without any politeness. Suddenly, Yuan Huailie grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "You are not Xin Moyan. Who are you?"

Hearing his forceful question, Xin Moyan's eyes flickered several times. Even her brother couldn't see it, but Yuan Huailie did?

However, she is indeed in Xin Moyan's body now. Even if a blood test proves they are siblings, they are still siblings!

Thinking of this, she instantly gained confidence and forced herself to remain calm, saying, "What does Your Highness mean by this? Please let go, Your Highness. If I am not Xin Moyan, then who is?"

"Are you really suffering from amnesia?"

Yuan Huailie couldn't believe that even if a person lost their memory, their personality and temperament would change so drastically. Moreover, Xin Moyan had always been obsessed with him. At this moment, the woman's eyes were completely unfamiliar to him; she was a completely different person, bearing no resemblance to the Xin Moyan of the past.

"Yes!"

"So you have no more romantic feelings for me?"
